“Food was amazing. Which is a shame, we can never go there again. The horrible club music was so loud I could hear my husband, the waiter was screaming at me and had to get too close to take our order.Experience horrible; food was amazing but could never go there again.”

“One of my favorite places to get food. Foods always sooooo good and the people are so nice, even when I'm being a little annoying with my 13 people orders (I always get help when I have like 4 bags of foods). As a Muslim it is really hard to find good halal places that won't cost an arm and a leg, and this is is really affordable for the amount of food you are getting. I hope this place never closes. 10/10 would recommend”
“I have been craving a Chicago dog since I left the windy city in 2014. Hubby brought me one of yours and oh my. Y'all nailed it and even though the bun isn't poppy seed, the bun you use is incredibly good! He also brought a banh mi dog and now I am craving one of each daily!”
“Have heard a lot a good things about this place for the Scary Good Eats App.. You definitely have to have a game plan if you want anything here. Parking is not fun since you are in the heart of Rutgers. You have to hope you can snag a spot out front. The place itself is very small, no indoor seating, just order and you are on your way. Was not a cheap lunch for 2 sandwiches and some fries. Around $50 I believe. The sandwiches were good. Got the basic Cheeseteak with the Cooper Sharp. It was an exact amount of meat and cheese to fill the roll, which was soft and fresh. Was a solid Cheeseteak. The fries were very good as well. I will go back, but not out of my way. Very Good job for a new business.”

“I went to Batch today with colleagues. It was a perfect after-work spot with a great vibe, excellent service, and delicious small plates. My friends and I can't wait to go back.”
“Drove from Cleveland to a meeting in NYC, specifically had a layover in New Brunswick, just to have dinner. This was my second trip for dinner in two months and it exceeded all expecations, the hoilday decor transformed the second floor. The service (Regan) was on point, pleasant and efficient with out being over bearing. The meal was the single greatest pasta dish I have had in the U.S. (wild boar ravioli) Already making plans to return, if you are with in a days drive, you really have no excuse not to enjoy a meal with them.”

“We went there for the first time tonight. The staff was very courteous. The atmosphere was beautiful. The food was absolutely fantastic as we had their sampler. Didn’t feel rushed. The cappuccino and mousse topped off a truly wonderful experience. We will be back again and again…. and again. ❤️🇪🇹❤️”
“We celebrated our daughter's 19th birthday at Victoria's. Let me just say Vinny and team made us feel so warm and welcomed. The atmosphere reminded me of how restaurants used to be when I was a kid, growing up in NY. Top notch customer service and the icing on the cake.. food was amazing. We ordered appetizers including the baked wings and buttermilk fried calamari which was delicious. We had pasta dishes including carbonara, penne vodka and even gnocchi. All of which were amazing. As well as desserts . The waiter was amazing too. This is now our new favorite spot! Thank you Victoria's for a memorable evening ❤️”
“The food was so delicious. I had the beef noodles and the broth was mind blowing. I went with a friend and she loves their steamed pork soup dumplings. The guy taking our order so super kind and helpful. I liked the designs and drawings on the wall and the atmosphere in general. It felt mystical.
Kid-friendliness: The man taking our order was very welcoming especially since me and my friend were teens dining in for the first time. He made sure he had our orders correct and he answered very politely when being asked a question.”
“They serve absolutely delicious lamb dish ❤️ Lamb Do Pyaza, Grilled Lamb, Lamb Korma, Lamb Kaboli Rice yum! The portions are decent for the price. Went there twice on Spring 2021 and last night, but seems like they put more Tahini in their Baba Ganoush lately because it’s got much creamier texture and less of eggplant taste than we had last year :/ Decent outdoor sitting in their backyard on warm days, the upstairs sitting room is a unique for us non Afghans, they have place for customers sitting sections (Afghan style) and they provide tables and chairs too incase you’d like to sit and dine there. Definitely would visit ‘em again!”
“The store is small but exquisite
I really like this colorful little shop
The store clerk is also very warm and friendly 😆
Good food made by passionate people tastes better too
The rice that looks like its grains are actually so fragrant
Türkiye is an Islamic country
Because I can’t eat pork🐽
Meats are mainly beef, mutton, and chicken
Tried the mutton skewers and chicken and it was very delicious (because I don’t eat beef)
Yogurt and Tomato BBQ is a mouth-watering dish
Be sure to order their desserts
Ordered rice pudding and baklava
I think the pudding made from rice must be tasteless.
The result tasted so dense and refreshing😳I was really surprised
Baklava is perfect for ants with a sweet tooth
It tastes like warm mille-feuille with pistachio sauce on top
Very delicious! ! But I don’t dare to eat too much because it’s too sweet🤣
Thanks to the boss for buying us many cups of tea and Turkish coffee
It tastes great with Turkish Delight”
“Vegetarian options: My search for 'Kunefe' that would taste authentic just like the one I had in Türkiye years ago has finally concluded; it was so good that I am forced to put out this statement - "This is the best Kunefe I have even had in the US of A!" For main course I had vegetable casserole.”

“I've ordered and been here several times over the years. They've gotten somewhat better with not messing up the meals or omitting things. Thankfully ubereats refunded, but it's still annoying. The drive thru sometimes can be a long wait. I really only get the nuggets & fries from here, so I can't attest to the rest.
Parking: There's several places to park. Handicap, curbside pick up”

“This is a very small place to eat and I usually order to pick up. What I can say is the food it’s authentic Mexican , so tasty and delicious , I’m not a big fan of spicy foods but this place use enough condiments on their meats , they use jalapeños but if you don’t want them, request not to put them on your food…overall food it’s delicious highly recommend”

“We love the atmosphere, the delicious homemade soups, main dishes, and desserts at the lovely Friends Friend's Cafe :) the jazz evenings outdoors, the chess-playing and studying students & Mo, Josephine, and Hannah with the heart of gold for all furry friends who are welcome inside the cafe, and, of course, on the patio <3 <3 <3 Below is our Rover enjoying his doggie meal and a comfy bed at the cafe :)”
“No longer in actual food trucks, but they taste the same. Their service is quick. Still the best fat sandwiches I’ve bought. Everywhere else is just a copy. A staple in the grease trucks community that you have to try at least once. Whenever I’m around Rutgers I have to get one. Fat Nini w/ extra honey mustard!”
“The most real fruit I've had in a boba drink since the time I ordered a grapefruit tea in Tokyo in 2005 and they gave me the most pure, unsweetened grapefruit juice and pulp.
I ordered the grapefruit passion four season tea (light ice, light sugar) and it's *perfect*. Extremely flavorful without being too sweet or with no sweetness at all. There's tons of actual grapefruit and slices of lime.
My spouse got mango passion oolong and there's just chunks of mango and fresh mango juice in it. It's very sweet and overpowers the tea somewhat but that's just me, they're happy with it.
My only wish is that the dessert menu was more clearly posted.”

“Food was delicious and looked beautiful, service was excellent and the atmosphere was lovely. I had the hibachi steak and my husband had the shrimp and vegetable tempura. I was pleased with the size of the meal and the flavor. For dessert we had the banana tempura. A delicious treat and only $4. We hope to come back again!”

“Great place for sushi and poke. The fish is fresh and cut for each poke bowl, sushi roll, and sushi burrito. The workers are really nice and its really close to rutgers. Theres not a whole lot of seating but most people get take out anyways so there will most likely be a seat if you wanna eat in. They have self ordering too. The fish is fresh and clean. It might be a little wait for you food but thats honestly fine because it just shows the food is fresh.”
“Tried New Brunswick location today for the first time after hearing raving reviews from my co-workers. I am very impressed! I got a burrito box w/ chorizo and added guac, Brussels sprouts & chipotle aioli. Oh my goodness. Delicious! Those brussels were way tasty. Then a bag of chips too. The chips had a hint of lime and lightly salted, so good. Better than chipotles. The bowl was huge; couldn’t finish which made for a great dinner. Can’t wait to come back and keep trying different meats!!”
“Seriously the most underrated spot around and so glad I stumbled upon it initially on Doordash after wanting a fruit smoothie (got the classic). Loved it so decided to go in person and was really happy with the friendliness and immediate service. Ended up ordering the steak and onions with their peanut butter blast smoothie and it was so good. This’ll be my little spot from now on!”
“I just went but the attention of the ladies is very bad, they look at you in a bad way, I was standing there, other people were serving me except for me, so I told them if I was invisible, very bad customer service, the ladies are always angry, and twice as much as the sauce. It turns out ”

“I love this place!!!! The healthy juices and smoothies are amazing... our favorites are wake me up and stomach ease. They have any kind of tea for your needs. It's a well stock place too. DON'T BELIVE THE 1 STAR KAREN REVIEWS the couple that run this place are nice, some people just don't understand the culture.”

“I had a great experience at this place! I got a matcha latte and it came out absolutely perfect. The girl at the counter, Laura, was extremely friendly and helpful. She made my drink quickly and efficiently.
This place also has an amazing ambiance to get some work done and plenty of seating. Will definitely be back!”
“Very inviting atmosphere. Lucas the nanager always is eager too make sure myself and guests are having a great experience. The staff is second to none. Lee the bartender is fat friendly and I'm tip if everything his knowledge is great. The rest of the staff is always excellent and friendly”
“Yue Wah Kitchen is hands down our go-to spot whenever we’re craving Chinese food! The food is consistently amazing—fresh, flavorful, and always cooked to perfection. Whether it's their delicious General Tso's chicken, fried rice, or dumplings, every dish hits the spot!
What really makes this place special are the owners. They are some of the nicest, friendliest people you’ll ever meet. They truly make you feel like family whenever you visit. The service is always top-notch, and they go out of their way to ensure you have a great experience.
We’ve been coming here for years and can’t imagine going anywhere else for Chinese food. If you haven’t tried Yue Wah Kitchen yet, you’re missing out!”
“My favorite pizza place in New Brunswick. The vegan menu is incredibly extensive and delicious! The owner is so sweet, generous, and helpful. He's always willing to explain a menu item, chat with you ("where's the show tonight?") and make sure your experience is enjoyable. I can't say enough great things about Tata's.”

“Love, love, love this place forever and will always be my go-to spot for great vibes and drinks! Riley and Parker are such amazing bartenders and keep the vibes up in the pub at all times! The drinks are some of the best I've had in New Brunswick, and the prices are just reasonable compared to some subpar drinks I've paid more for in other pubs in the area.”
“I’m vegetarian and for some weird reason on Uber eats there is no option to switch patties. I called the restaurant. I talked to the guy named Adarsh. He insured my order, doesn’t get any beef patties and on the special request hey switch the patty to beyond patty. I usually do this when I go to this restaurant in person and this is the only place where I eat burgers because they’re exceptionally good. Also, their aloo tiki burger is outstanding. Whoever owns this restaurant Please, please please never change the thing about this place. You got great customer service, awesome food, and very hard-working people. I always proudly tip every single time I go to this restaurant. Today the employee, name Adarsh made my day. Thanks a lot!”
“Their flavor is very good, they have a great Mexican flavor and their food options are varied. An excellent place to eat Mexican food.
Wheelchair accessibility: As it does not have steps, it is an excellent option for people who use wheelchairs since access is very easy and the staff is very friendly.”

“The moat delicious and authentic Dominican Food!!!! The Sanchoco took me back to to the island and sweet memories of my visits to Santo Domingo to see my family every year. I had the shrimp and garlic sauce with the very distinctive Dominican white rice. The flan was to die for. The service was impeccable. I will be going back often. Prices were also great. There is nothing wrong with this establishment and I am very picky!!!!”
